Let’s go back to Vera Koo’s very first blog post at Women’s Outdoor News, published on October 22nd, 2013. In her debut column, Vera describes her warrior mindset and how to become a champion shooter.
There is no real formula for becoming a champion. What works for me is focus and a single mindedness that sometimes causes people to think I am aloof. I am hard on myself and do not want to fail. Becoming a champion shooter, especially at the Bianchi Cup, the premier competition held every May in Columbia, Mo., is not unlike being a warrior. Every single time I face the challenge of competition it is like I am preparing for battle. I see myself as a general, preparing strategy and anticipating the enemy, which in most cases, is me.
成功
对参加枪赛的人来说，「比安奇盃」对他们的神志是最大的磨鍊。赛中有四站而你只能打少数几发子 弹；一不留神失去时机，就会全盘崩溃。
我在四十五歳时才开始参加射击比赛。在此之前我从来没有想到我会从事此道。我先是去上了一门枪 枝安全课，就发现我对射击竟然有潜能。于是我就开始去学习。我这人对每件事都会全力以赴。我总 是要做的最好，我有竞争心。但是我参加比赛并非是想要打败别人。我只是向自己挑战去登峯造极。
现在我己经六十七岁了。我笃定地确信我已经成为一名斗士了。这些年来我常常反省我参赛的动机和 成就。这二十年裡我有幸赢得了多项殊荣，包括八次全国动作射击赛（「比安奇盃」）中的奖项、两次 女子世界冠军－一次在「比安奇盃」，另一次在世界一对一赛。我是个斗士，但这并非是因为我己经 拥有了这些荣誉。
要登上斗士的殿堂，是要经过长期的坚强磨鍊，不折不挠，一心一意，再接再厉。我勇于奋斗。如果 我尽了力量，我就一定能够爬到顶。如果我停下来过度观察思考，我反而不会成功。
